Description
Widespread electrification (heat pumps, EV charging, electric equipment) increases demand in specific locations and may require distribution system upgrades. This action focuses on early, proactive coordination with the electric utility to align infrastructure planning with Plymouth’s electrification goals. Utility collaboration can reduce delays for new EV chargers, building electrification projects, and community-scale renewable integration by anticipating capacity needs and targeted upgrades. Success looks like fewer project interconnection bottlenecks, smoother permitting and construction timelines, and a grid that is ready to support Plymouth’s transition away from fossil fuels.
